Chapter 273: Leaving with a Smile
Rumble!
As the five enormous earth dragons crumbled and fell, the entire island trembled, and dust billowed up, leaving the ground a scene of utter devastation.
Swish!
Mu Chong sheathed his sword and slowly descended to a position in mid-air level with Yi Xiao.
"Uncle Yixiao! Why did you stop fighting?"
"Hehehe! Brother Mu! There's no point in continuing this battle. It seems you can also master my Devil Fruit ability, and you're even more familiar with gravity than I am!"
Once the dust settled, Mu Chong and Yi Xiao landed on the ground, talking as they walked towards the Freedom.
Now Mu Chong is over two meters tall, and walking next to Yi Xiao, he no longer looks like a child.
Guaou! Guaou!
Several seagulls skimmed across the sea surface, then took flight, soaring towards the vast ocean as the western sun set.
The bow position of the Freedom deck
"Uncle Yixiao! Don't you really need us to give you a ride? We're heading to the New World anyway! Isn't it on our way?"
Mu Chong stared intently at Yi Xiao in front of him, and asked again.
After Mu Chong and Yi Xiao's battle, Aisha prepared a sumptuous meal. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yi Xiao prepared to continue his journey.
"Hmm! No need for that! You all have your own paths to walk. I won't linger here any longer. The purpose of my visit has been achieved. Let's part ways here!"
His face was flushed with laughter, clearly because he was in a good mood and had drunk a few too many glasses of wine earlier; he was slightly tipsy at the moment.
"Hey? Uncle! It's getting late. It's not safe for you to set off alone. Why don't you stay the night and set off tomorrow morning?"
No sooner had Yixiao finished speaking than Belinda, the ship's doctor, stepped forward to persuade him to stay, as she believed it would be very dangerous for the elderly man to set sail at night.
"Hahaha! It's alright, it's alright! Thank you for your concern, young lady! The night? It makes no difference to this old man!"
He laughed loudly, refusing to stay again, then turned to Mu Chong, his tone suddenly becoming serious.
"Brother Mu! What would you have done if the Navy and the World Government had refused to exchange personnel back then?"
"Ok?"
A sudden question from Yixiao made Mu Chong raise an eyebrow and pause slightly, but he quickly smiled again.
"Hehehe! If the Navy and the World Government refuse to exchange personnel, then that thunderbolt won't just land in Loguetown! Perhaps, it could even reach Marine Headquarters or the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!"
Mu Chong's tone was firm and his domineering voice resonated throughout the Freedom, infecting everyone standing behind him, especially Hill Bott in the crowd.
"Hahaha! Alright! I'm off!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's reply, Yi Xiao said nothing, only let out a loud laugh, and then, under everyone's gaze, soared into the air.
Rumble!
As Yixiao's body left the deck, a huge rock suddenly rose from the deserted island, reaching his feet in an instant.
Then, the people on the first-line assault deck nodded, turned gracefully, and rode away on the boulder.
"Wow! This guy is amazing! He can sail freely without a boat!"
"Yes! Yes! He truly deserves to be the mentor of the chivalrous hero! He's amazing!"
"I wish I could fly someday!"
The group of underlings on the deck gazed up at Yi Xiao, who was gradually disappearing into the horizon, with immense envy, their admiring eyes lingering for a long time.
"Captain! Uncle Yixiao..."
"It's alright! No need to worry! On this vast ocean, there are few who can harm Uncle Yixiao, and besides, this is the way he prefers to be! We will meet again in the future!"
Slad, standing to the side, slowly stepped forward, hesitant to speak. Mu Chong waved to him, his eyes filled with deep longing.
Guaou! Guaou!
Just as everyone was preparing to leave the deck and go about their own business, several cries suddenly rang out from the sky, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
"Huh? It's a messenger seagull! That's right! It must be that the captain has reported the destruction of the Buster Call! Quick! Don't let that messenger seagull fly away!"
The moment Bartolomeo saw the messenger gull, he shouted at the top of his lungs, and instantly, a loud shout erupted throughout the entire deck.
"Guaou??!!!"
This scene startled even the messenger gulls in the sky, causing their cries to tremble.
Swish!
A newspaper suddenly fell from the sky, while the delivery gull vanished swiftly into the darkening night.
Snapped!
"Hey hahaha! Well done, brothers! We got another free newspaper this time!"
Bartolomeo, having received the newspaper, glanced up at the vanished delivery seagull, then quickly turned and flashed a victory sign to his underlings.
"Hahahaha! Paying to read the newspaper? That's absolutely impossible!"
"Exactly! Exactly! We're already being lenient by not stewing it! Paying money? Pshaw!"
Bartolomeo and his gang's actions left Mu Chong and the others utterly astonished. "So this isn't the first time you've done this?" they thought.
"Hey hahaha! Let me see what's written in this newspaper!"
As Bartolomeo spoke, those who were about to leave the deck stopped, their eyes fixed on the newspaper with curious expressions.
Wow! The captain is so handsome!
Suddenly, Bartolomeo's eyes gleamed, and his expression became bright and alert.
"Ok?"
Bartolomeo's expression instantly piqued the curiosity of those around him, who all craned their necks to look.
Swish!
The next second, Bartolomeo appeared in front of the group in a flash, jumped onto the ship's edge, and unfolded the newspaper in his hand towards everyone.
Whoosh!
As he moved with fluid grace, several sheets of paper slipped from the newspaper, and due to Bartolomeo's position, a few drifted into the sea.
"Ok?"
This scene stunned everyone. Immediately, someone prepared to rush forward to retrieve them, but the next moment, the fallen papers flew up and headed towards Mu Chong.
It turned out that just as the papers were falling, Mu Chong activated his Power-Power Fruit ability. With a flick of his wrist, all the papers came into his hand.
"Huh? It's a bounty poster! Tch! The Navy's quick on the uptake. The war just ended, and a new bounty poster has already appeared! Looks like they're completely treating us like pirates and trying to capture us!"
Slad, who was closest to Mu Chong, glanced at the paper in Mu Chong's hand. When he saw that it was a wanted poster issued by the Navy, his face was full of disdain.
"Hehehe! It seems the Navy and the World Government have been debating this bounty for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have taken a whole day to release it!"
Upon hearing Slard's words, Hill Bott adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a confident glint in his eyes.
"Oh? Hill! Why do you say that?"
Slard paused upon hearing this, then turned to Hill Bot and asked softly.
Everyone looked puzzled, and after a moment's thought, they all turned to look at Hill Bot, waiting for his explanation.
"It's very simple! The process of everyone destroying the Buster Call yesterday was almost entirely broadcast live, so Morgans should be able to produce the newspaper quickly. Even the appearance of Rayleigh over Loguetown later won't delay the production of this newspaper!"
